When I was a newbie Outlander fan...(or a "newb" as my Minecraft-loving 4th grader would say)...Tracey got me the original Outlandish Companion...and I canna tell you how helpful it was in remembering/calculating/studying all things Outlander!!! BUT - alas - it only went so far...into Drums of Autumn, I believe? So come October, you'd better BELIEVE I'll be buying #2!!!

WOW! This is SO COOL!! Cat, over at the Sunshine Mountain Lodge in Allenspark, Colorado (outside Boulder) is a huge Outlander fan...and is running an "Everything Outlander" retreat in April, after a hugely successful retreat in 2014!

Even better news? The retreat will be run by none other than My Outlander Purgatory friend, Susan Leidy!!! Or, "Sooz" as we refer to her here at MOP.

Who is Sooz, you ask, and what qualifies her to run an Outlander retreat?

Have you ever noticed that Claire never seems to have to worry about clothes? She stepped into the18th century and...people just...dressed her! Mrs. Fitz was like her very own personal stylist in Outlander. And don't get me started on how well she was dressed in Dragonfly in Amber...or even as far ahead in the series as MOBY (no spoilers shall I give!)

Ever wanted to be dressed by someone else...just like Claire...but you figure it's too expensive to have your own stylist? Well kiss THAT thought goodBYE! Lassies, I have discovered something new*...

Yes, I am obsessed. This is the most exciting concept in clothing to come down the pike since Spanx. All you do is fill out a style profile on the Stitch Fix website...and VOILA! Your own personal stylist sends you five articles of clothing and/or accessories.

The shipping is FREE. The returns are FREE. (And to a USPS box, no less. SO easy.) All they charge you is $20 for the monthly service of styling you (or only quarterly if you prefer)...and if you keep even just one article of clothing, the $20 goes toward the price! How can you go wrong?? It's like Rachel Zoe - or Mrs. Fitz - showing up in your closet!

I received my first shipment in January and have another scheduled for February. Who doesn't want their own personal stylist??? Especially when it's FREE if you order one piece! And another perk? They will credit you for referrals. I'm telling you, sassenachs...this service is worth checking out.

Why should Claire have all the fun?! :)

*From what I can tell, they only ship to the US...but keep checking their site. Who knows what will happen in the future!
